blue eyed fire

Language

2010-07-01T13:41:00.001-04:00

as plain as day
written down
the language of others
you'll know if you know
the words of brothers

Strength

2010-06-03T15:31:00.001-04:00

The strong and steady
May not win the race
But they'll hold you up
And help you save face

Color

2010-05-02T16:15:00.001-04:00

color is everywhere
but only where you look

Whole

2010-04-06T18:52:00.001-04:00

eye of the tiger
looks out into the open
and down into your soul
a fancy way of saying
look always at the whole

Bigger

2010-03-08T13:24:00.001-05:00

Pieces make the whole,
joints and curves complete the soul
The bigger picture is prettier

Gold

2010-02-06T11:47:00.001-05:00

Stories often told
Get put away
When children grow old
Bring them about
Or children go without
Words of story gold

Speed

2010-01-01T21:57:00.000-05:00

how fast you are going
means nothing
if you don't know
where you're headed

Hold

2009-12-02T23:02:00.001-05:00

it's the things that keep us together
that take the most stress
and keep us light as a feather
even when not at our best

Marks

2009-11-04T14:44:00.000-05:00

the things people
are better and worse

than the things they don't

Destination

2009-10-02T10:49:00.001-04:00

do you ever really know where you're going?
what if you only know where you've been?
is that any different?

Worse

2009-09-10T10:19:00.001-04:00

It could be worse

Healing

2009-08-05T21:41:00.000-04:00

take a minute
take a moment
find your strength
and hold it

Design

2009-07-24T23:55:00.003-04:00

when by design

things make you stare
aren't they serving a purpose

even if they have none

Need

2009-06-28T23:12:00.001-04:00

when you're gone,
the world finds out
how much it really needed you

Bottles

2009-06-02T10:25:00.001-04:00

adding, subtracting
it's never enough
but how many times
can you take this

Words

2009-05-15T21:45:00.001-04:00

write it, say it,
words make it go around,
things you missed,
things you've newly found

Worth

2009-04-28T09:19:00.001-04:00

When the confidence crumbles
And new ideas roar forth
Old ideas still struggle
And fight for all their worth

Light

2009-04-06T10:04:00.000-04:00

it may not be at the end of a tunnel
but there will always be a light
the people around you will keep you
and hold you always tight

Shout

2009-03-24T23:19:00.002-04:00

are you holding yourself in
or letting yourself be kept out
the answers we receive
good or bad, can make us shout

Trash

2009-03-04T21:27:00.001-05:00

trash is treasure

Shapes

2009-02-27T09:11:00.001-05:00

Shapes usually show up
Where you aren't looking
Pay attention
And see what's cooking

Bones

2009-02-06T00:54:00.000-05:00

head, shoulders, knees and toes

Prickly

2009-01-24T07:27:00.003-05:00

Some people are fuzzy,
Hugs and always warmth,
Some are hardy pleasant,
Spines and outer shells,
That cool and chill the hearth.

Busy

2009-01-07T19:56:00.000-05:00

BRB.

Arch

2008-12-22T10:23:00.001-05:00

Perfect angles, perfect time
Never budging
Even past prime

Lean

2008-12-10T11:16:00.001-05:00

Leaning, pointing directions
Where we're going, where we've been
Looking forward and back
Marking all we've seen

Know

2008-11-26T22:41:00.000-05:00

not what you think it is

Hold

2008-11-02T10:03:00.001-05:00

hold on

Loopholes

2008-10-07T19:50:00.001-04:00

Even Mother Nature has loopholes

Path

2008-09-26T11:52:00.002-04:00

There's a path to everything
From everywhere
But you never know what you're on
Until you get there

Hate

2008-09-05T23:42:00.001-04:00

It's not always easy
It's not always fair
That sometimes it's what you hate
That gets you there

Listen

2008-08-23T06:14:00.000-04:00

Just because they listening now
Doesn't mean they'll listen later

Homewrecker

2008-08-11T10:41:00.003-04:00

Something didn't happen
Something went and changed
Now there's nothing left
No photos to be framed

Say

2008-07-24T00:36:00.001-04:00

Sometimes others
Say it better

Breaching

2008-07-13T15:28:00.002-04:00

tall and reaching
never breaching
the moments of the sky
holding fast
the days that past
never wond'ring why

2008-06-27T10:00:00.002-04:00

there's uncertainty in everything
words and ways and night and days
if you think you know what's to come
you'll pay

Identity

2008-06-04T15:54:00.002-04:00

you are what you are
and what you pretend not to be

Mix

2008-05-28T20:30:00.002-04:00

Add and subtract
Mix it, shake it, knock it about
You'll never have
What you started with

Jonah

2008-05-06T11:03:00.001-04:00

Chew before you swallow

Go

2008-04-16T23:18:00.002-04:00

And the road goes by
The skies ride high
And photos do little to stop them

True

2008-04-02T09:24:00.003-04:00

Words just aren't sufficient
Even stone isn't true
For the things I feel
When I love you

Because

2008-03-24T16:10:00.004-04:00

Just because you're moving
Doesn't mean you're going faster

Let

2008-03-04T10:10:00.003-05:00

you see what they let you see
only if you let them
the doors of mind swing wide open
if someone should respect them

Race

2008-02-26T19:35:00.002-05:00

Vast and narrow
We ride by times and places
Straighter than arrows
And we miss the important things
Because always
We are in a race

Disarm

2008-02-15T11:00:00.003-05:00

Flares and reaching arms
Embrace and keep from harm
All the while
With just a smile
We are casually disarmed

High

2008-02-01T10:52:00.000-05:00

Call me what you like
Ignore the things you don't
Tell me to come down from here
I'll let you know I won't

Blur

2008-01-01T15:09:00.000-05:00

Keep your focus,
Keep your ground,
Remember always
To cherish what you've found
Have a good time,
Bear a safe mind,
Make a little noise
So you always sleep sound

Load

2007-12-19T22:42:00.000-05:00

if you can't see the whole picture
why would you judge like you do
wait until it loads
before you barrel through

Rest

2007-12-11T10:22:00.001-05:00

Rest awhile
Your tired feet and mind
In dreams and sleep
The answers you will find

Center

2007-11-22T00:28:00.000-05:00

center's not always true
when it comes
to me and you
but lines and color
never leave us blue

Red

2007-11-07T10:45:00.001-05:00

close up

it's not all the same
there's red present here
in green's game

Exposure

2007-10-17T17:15:00.001-04:00

over-exposure
is a sure way
to see too much
and not enough

Precipitation

2007-10-06T23:44:00.000-04:00

when it rains
it pours

Set

2007-10-03T10:46:00.001-04:00

the fading light

the dusty path
sometimes you struggle to see
more than half

Mind

2007-09-16T10:33:00.000-04:00

Even Mother Nature can't decide
Sometimes

Past

2007-09-05T10:55:00.000-04:00

the past is not the past
until you let it go

Zone

2007-08-31T00:38:00.000-04:00

One way or no way
Traveling on our own
Getting off the highway
Son of a no-park zone

Night

2007-08-14T19:16:00.000-04:00

Quiet but not empty
Some are coming from
Some are going to
There is no steady traffic beat

Always

2007-07-19T23:29:00.000-04:00

Always on
Means never off, never rest
They say the it's the way
Of only the best

Fame

2007-07-13T08:20:00.000-04:00

Writing, reading, hiding
It's all about the fame
No one seems to notice
How it's just an elaborate game

Twist

2007-06-30T15:56:00.000-04:00

Twist the day and get night
Twist the dark and make light

Blossom

2007-06-13T09:03:00.001-04:00

blossoms in the mind
create blossoms in the hand
and never seen before
brilliance of the land

Windows

2007-05-27T11:27:00.000-04:00

windows say nothing if you never look inside

Pressure

2007-05-20T08:19:00.000-04:00

They wait and watch
These vultures of retail
Pressure and a push
So they can make their sale

Dreams

2007-04-27T10:37:00.000-04:00

The sun never sets
If your eyes are always open
But dreams may come
If they are closed

Arms

2007-04-07T21:27:00.000-04:00

perhaps I'll fly

to the sky
ancient arms reach that way
to catch the fallen angels
that wondered why

Speak

2007-02-21T10:59:00.000-05:00

listen
we're not speaking

Motion

2007-02-14T23:13:00.000-05:00

what you see when you're moving
never looks the same
when you're not

Impact

2007-02-07T19:17:00.000-05:00

bigger or smaller than you think
more or less than you know

Body

2007-02-01T15:52:00.000-05:00

eyes and ears
and mouth and woes
don't forget
what comes
also goes

Sky

2007-01-21T10:25:00.000-05:00

grey skies make you dreary
wet skies make you weary
what can blue do for you

Wrong

2007-01-04T06:39:00.000-05:00

best friends
watch you carefully
when they know
something's wrong

Sun

2006-12-18T15:13:00.000-05:00

it guides us
and all the while
it blinds us

Box

2006-12-04T21:05:00.000-05:00

Rules and branches bend
But tape holds us in
And boxes let us out

Bondage

2006-11-26T21:38:00.000-05:00

there is old and there is new
but there is alway that which holds us
to one or the other

Forever

2006-11-04T11:46:00.000-05:00

Nothing lasts forever

Awake

2006-10-23T11:01:00.000-04:00

Some are always down
While some are always up
You cannot tell which is which
by who's got coffee in the cup

Music

2006-10-11T21:49:00.000-04:00

We all need music in our days
The words, the bass and the lines
The endless choices in phrase
It's never time for a silent soul

Wise Words

2006-09-30T10:42:00.000-04:00

shopping lists aren't like they were
ten thousand years ago
what we need, we're sure
it's the things we don't know

Reaching

2006-08-23T16:00:00.000-04:00

Reaching tall
is our youth

Lost

2006-08-07T18:07:00.000-04:00

the lights make it hard to see
to find the destination
the place to be
struggle to stay on the road

Language

2006-07-26T06:18:00.000-04:00

your language or mine?
same words, different worlds
it all remains the same.

The Same

2006-07-16T12:40:00.000-04:00

Win and lose in the same breath

Swim

2006-07-03T14:20:00.000-04:00

the old and the new alike
play games of their own
with sticks of their own
wash the world away

Explore

2006-06-22T19:15:00.000-04:00

Explore your surroundings

Fences

2006-06-07T07:47:00.000-04:00

Some folks are kept out by fences
Some folks are kept in
Some folks give up and climb over
And they're the ones that win

Possession

2006-05-30T15:24:00.000-04:00

Not mine, not yours
Whose is it going to be
It's what you do with what's not yours
That people always see

Keys

2006-05-24T22:07:00.000-04:00

Keys of change and that open doors
Swinging and revolving
Tune and hum
Ready to go

Smile

2006-05-10T10:22:00.000-04:00

American inteligence
Comes and goes with the wind
Sometimes we use it
Sometimes we ignore it

Stairs

2006-05-07T09:59:00.000-04:00

Doors and stairs lead up and out
But ony if you let them

Marks

2006-04-29T10:08:00.000-04:00

marks on sand
just as dynamic
as marks on the heart

Rhythm

2006-04-24T10:29:00.001-04:00

play the notes and keep time
rhythm and pace, along with rhyme
watch the score unfold with grace
they watch, you feel the pace

Bridge

2006-04-16T21:29:00.000-04:00

bridge, chasm, fill the well
may hands reach out

to those who fell

Open

2006-04-08T10:50:00.000-04:00

i shall hold you here
and let you go
the pain, the fear
are nothing for me

Hold

2006-04-04T19:07:00.001-04:00

What holds you up?

Count

2006-04-02T17:01:00.000-04:00

Forefathers, five phrases
Six phases, seven days
Live it all the same

Up

2006-03-22T23:05:00.000-05:00

If you're down

There is only up
Reverse

Impact

2006-03-14T18:05:00.001-05:00

we make a bigger impact
than we think we do

Stay

2006-02-26T09:53:00.000-05:00

sit, stay

take a load off
your feet, mind

Carved

2006-02-21T07:22:00.000-05:00

it's easy to see
the lines and breaks
it's not's not so easy
to see what waits
